ATLANTA. GA, Aug. 9th, 1857.

ALBANIA S<A'S a ut3' S'tat -oo''
Editor anderson Mtelligencer A number
of prominent people of your County
have desired me to express to the public
my opinion of the cause of the fall of the
iron bridge over the Seneca River, and /
take pleasure in doing so in this way.
In the first place I will say, that as the
contractor for the bridge, 7 have, all the
time, felt my personal responsibility, and
that if the bridge should fail through any
defect in the design or construction, the
whole blame would be laid on me. AS
civil engineer, have had charge of many
important works, and my work gener-
ally will testify as to my ability in that
direction.
The work on this bridge was done in
the most thorough manner, as Mr.. Cox,
the civil engineer who made the exami-
nation for the Commissioners, has testi.
fed so far as he examined. Particular
care was taken with the foundations, and
as the whole structure is dependent on
them, your Commissioners made most
careful and rigid examination in that par
ticular before they would accept the
bridge. They not only took testimony Of
men on the work, but they examined into
the condition of the work after the fall,
having an expert diver for the purpose,
and thoroughly convinced themselves
that everything was welt done before they
accepted it.
The disaster was unquestionably duo
to the extreme freshet in the river, and
the rafls aud logs which were brought
down by it. The bridge withstood the
first freshet without being in the least
affected, and everybody said that that was
a good proof of its substantiability, the
water at that time being up to the floor of
the bridge.
Some may think proper care was not
taken in placing the bridge above high
water. The Commissioners and myself,
when deciding on that point acted on the
advice of reliable parties in that vicinity,
who showed the highest watermark astwo
or three feet below the grade fixed. The
bridge was set at the samp height as
Earle's bridge above, that boing deemed
amply high. The recent freshet, however,
proves that the water is higher than stated,
or at Earlc's Bridge, due probably to the
great water from Deep Creek.
In closing, I would say that your Com
missioners have acted in businesslike
manner throughout, and have done their
whole duty by the County, and that the
misfortune was caused by forces not with
in control and that were not toreseen.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE H. CRAFTS.
